Ten Out Of Eleven
A first-class piece of sporting prophecy came over the air on November 14 from Station 2YD during the weekly sports session. The commentator was discussing the Wellington Town y. Country cricket match and the city team for this King’s Birthday fixture. Of the eleven men finally selected he prophesied the selection of ten, and very narrowly missed including the eleventh. At the end of his short talk on this match he announced what he thought would be a good team. When he came to the eleventh man he said that Jack Lamason (the selector) should go in if he were available. As he was not, and his talents as a captain could not be used, the commentator said the choice lay between Eddie McCloud and Roy Crawford. He chose McCloud for ‘his experience. , However, Lamason chose Crawford, for his promise, and 2YD missed by a willow shaving. Wellington sportsmen are apPreciating the worth of 2YD’s weekly sports session, and the appreciation seems to be deserved.
